Apron from the northern villages of the Marides costume group. The aprons were narrow and elongated, woven, and were called misales or misaloudes. The misales took their names from the patterns woven into the black horizontal bands. In addition to the woven misaloudes, in later years, girls wore basmenies aprons made from store-bought fabrics, which in some villages were called zambratses.
